The Supper.

T0e supper.
Thereis no sentiment that appeals
nore TO the best feelings of the hu-
man heart, than the care of the spot
,b.re rest the remains of the loved
..es xho have gone before to the
other world.
In all ages, one Of the best marks
of . refined and civilized people,
haze been the memorials erected to
n.roetuate the virtues and worthy
d..ds Of the departed. The ancient
Greeks and Romans set up monu-
n.uts to their wise patriots and
mat Generals, that their children
night have before them constant
,.mioders of useful and worthy
liyes, and that they should serve as
20 inspiration to noble and heroic
d.eds. What heart so hardened,
Int that some better, purer thoughts
I'm come into it, by q walk among
the graves of those whose voice
v.s familiar sound in the years
sooe BY. How easy there for mem.
ay to recall only their virtues and
shsir good deeds. The faults and
tsiliugs are easily consigned to for
setfulness. A people who are care
less in preserving the resting place
of their dead, will never do any
thing worthy of remembrance. For
noble deeds, generous acts, and un-
nl6sb devotion to some worthy
cause, come not from the cold calcula.
/ lions Of business, bnt spring from the
purs aud holy influences exerted by
,heheart. In response to this worthy
sutiment, the people of Bellevue, as
,people, have united to beautify
ind adorn the village cemetery,
where rest 80 many who were true
aad pure in life, and the memory of
sbose good deeds are still with US.
ID order to raise funds for this wor
lhy object, the ladies of Bellevue
xho are ever foremost in all works
d beuevolence-gave an elegant
npper on Tuesday night. The
tables were spread with allthe good
things that the most fastidious could
wish for. A supper of the charac-
ter given here could not have been
surpassed anywhere, and not equal
ID By many even of the most favor
ID communities. There was added
10 the pleasures of the feast the
strains Of music by the band from
Shreveport. The supper was we'll
latfeaized, and several hours were
pleasantly spent By our citizens and
he people in attendance on Court.
IL receipts were very satisfactory,
,nounting to 600 80.
Alter the supper the young peo-
y repaired to the Court house,
saefe they spent few hours in the
plsaaant enjoyment of the dance.

Knights Of Pythias Barbecue
at Dixie.

The Knights of Pythias of Bos-
sier parish gave a grand barbecue
at Dixie on Thursday last. Dixie
Lodge No. % had made preparations
Tor q very large crowd of people,
A fine platform was erected in the
grove adjoining Mr.. W. A. Martins
store, band was engaged and an
abundance of ice forwarded from
Shreveport.
The order of Knights of Pythias
has large membership in Bossier
parish-four Lodges-Friendship,
No. 13, at Haughton; Dixie, No. %,
at Dixie; Centre, No. 81, at Rocky
Monnt; and Bossier, No. 5, at Red
Land.
The immense crowd that attended
the barbecue at Dixie on Thursday
last attested the great interest that
is felt in this noble organization
Capt. w. j. Hughes presided and
introduced j. Henry Shepherd, ESQ.,,
the Supreme Representative of the
Grand Lodge of Louisiana. Mr..
Shepherd gave history of the or
ganization: how it was founded by
a few men at Washington City in
1864, and that it to day numbered
more than 100000 members, with
Lodges in every portion OF the
United States and Canada. The
speaker explained that the object
was to bind good men, irrespective
of creed, together firmly in the
bonds of pure friendship, so that
brother, though he might be a
stranger, far away from home, would
still find true and devoted friends, if
he found members of the order. 1t
wasintended that Friendship should
ever characterize the conduct of
members among themselves. That
quarrels were prevented, and men
made less selfish by being members
of this order. Another great tenet
